For Members

Welcome to CSI Parish, Sharjah

Praise be to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by whose abundant Grace and Blessings,
CSI Parish Sharjah got established on 1st April 1996 to worship God in our native
tongue. Being only 18 years old, Sharjah Parish is the youngest of the three CSI
Parishes in UAE. When we look back and ponder through these 16 years of history,
we cannot but fall prostrate, adore and worship Jesus for the wondrous blessings
showered on us as a parish in this foreign land. We are obliged to remember these
blessings with thanksgiving and with firm determination to fulfill our obligations
for the Glory of God.

Vicar's Message

Dearly Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Greetings to you in the matchless name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Church of South India (CSI) formed in 1947 is the largest protestant and united
national Church in India. All through its journey during the past 65 years, it affirms
that the church is the servant of God, called out and brought together to carry
on the mission of Jesus Christ based on the Holy Scriptures. It is moving forward
with a dynamic vision for the communion of churches in India. Church of South India
while holding its solidarity with the broken communities, and re-affirming the faith
in the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ, renews the hope of Eternity to
the whole humanity.

Bi-Centenary Celebrations 2014

Church of South India under Madhya Kerala Diocese, Kottayam, Kerala is yet again
scripting history as it attempts to bring to the fore the rich tradition and cultural
heritage that Church Missionary Society (CMS) launched when they came to India in
1816 with their humble yet challenging and path breaking social upliftment initiatives.

Commemorating this 19th Century mega event that transformed Kerala and placed it
on the path of progression and social growth, the Madhya Kerala diocese has initiated
the Bi-Centenary celebrations that aim to pick up the threads and weave a much stronger
social fabric giving our future generation the kind of infrastructure in areas of
health, education, charity, social commitments, etc., that would outlive the adversities
of time and bring solace and comfort to the needy and afflicted.

CSI Parish, Sharjah partnering with the diocese has also initiated several programs
to support this unique and praiseworthy initiative. One such event is to release
a souvenir honouring the Bi-Centenary celebrations showcasing the rich heritage
of CSI and as well towards promoting the concept and humble objectives that shape
several such socially beneficial projects.
